Senator CullOm's Address on the In
terstate Law
Before the Illinois Grain Merchants
Association.
The II ain Features Of the Bill Have
Come to Stay.
Field Rstirss from the Manhattan
Board OF Directors.
Come to stay.

SPRINGFIELD, H., June 30.--At a
meeting of the Illinois Grain Mer-
chants association yesterday, Senator
Cullom was called upon to speak on the
interstate commerce law. He thought
the first result was to place all men
more nearly on an equality with respect
to advantages in shipments of their
products. The law was in a sense ex-
perimental, but it was a declaration
by congress of its power over the sub
ject, and of its determination that these
privileged corporations should be con-
Quoted In the interest of the people.
The act will not be repealed, said he,
and II any corporations imagine it
will they may as well dismiss that ex-
pectation. Its substantial provisions
have come to stay. So far as my Obser-
walton goes, said he, those who are at
lacking the law and seeking to over
throw 1t are persons who profess so find
difficulty in understanding its mean
ing. The true ground Of the objection
on the part Of such critic is to be
found in the purpose and not in the al
legged ambiguity of the law. The re-
quirements of the law are that there
shall be no unjust discrimination. In
reference to the long and short haul
clause, he said for MANY
years the railroads of the country have
so absolutely controlled our interstate
commerce that we have no means of
knowing what are the natural channels
of traffic, or what would be the effect
of natural laws of trade upon many at
east of the present commercial centers.
What critics of the law call natural
centers OF trade are centerS created by
railroad favoritism, which has diverted
trade from its natural channels into
artificial ones at the expense of less
favored localities. He did not believe
the railroads were attempting to render
the law obnoxious. He credited them
with too much business sagacity for
that

EIoped and Over,nlken.

CHICAGO, July "A special from
Little Rock, Arkansas, says: John
Cody recently eloped with Elizabeth
Pumpkins, of Stone county, Arkansas,
daughter of his employer. AS soon as
the flight was discovered the father
and two brothers of the girl started in
pursuit. The chase was continued for
several days without intermission,
pursued and pursuers passing through
the Cherokee, Choctaw and Seminole
nations. The lovers were finally over
taken in the interior of the Chickasaw
country. The eldest of the Pumpkins
boys, who was riding in advance, dis
covered the fugitives and began firing.
His sister begged him to spare Coody,
but to her entreaties he paid no atten-
ton. Coody then returned the fire
and the boy fell from his horse, fatally
wounded. The father and younger
brother hastened to the rescue and shot
several times at Coody, mortally
wounding him, despite the efforts of
the girl to save him. The girl is very
pretty and about tWenty-years of age.

ne required the British c0l0rS
to be delivered to him.
The United States Government pre-
scented these eolors to General Wash
ington through Park Curtis, whom
they were entrusted to when was at
the War Office at Washington. Though
these are foreign flags and :signs of a
very memorable occasion, the United
States Government did not deem them
of sufficient Importance to be exhibited
as trophies of victory over a former
enemy, but presented them to the
soldier to whom they had been
surrendered, and manifested no desire
to have possession of the flags lost in
battle. Their value departed when
they were surrendered, and the excite
ment which has been created over the
proposition to return to the North and
South the flags they had lost, seems
very like a tempest in a teapot.
Whether they should lie and be
consumed by moths in boxes
of the War Office or
be returned to their former owners has
one element of value, which is that the
restoration would be declaration such
as old Romans made that there should
be no triumph for a victory in
civil . war, except SO far
feeling of restored fraternity. 1t
would be an advance toward that con-
ditiOn which all reasonable men will
recognize as desirable during the life
Of those who are to live together.

The address refers to the fact that both

Earnest private solicitation of many of

PensIon sIatIn1Ies

WASHINGTON, July "A statement
prepared at the pension Office shows
that during the last fiscal year there
were issued 2,s4O pension certificates.
OF this number 5,194 were original
cases; Ass were Mexican war claims
under the act of January 29th, 1897;
10000 were 'amputation" cases under
an act of August 6, 1887 and 81, 1O7 were
increase cases. The remainder were
reissues, - restoration or accrued
claims. This showing is said to be the
best ever made by the Office. In 1866,
with proofs of disability in nearly all
cases practically at hand, there were
so, 127 original allowances made. This
was the best record up to this year. A
statement is also made that there is not
a case in the pension office that has not
been overhauled during the last year
and the proper steps taken to advance
it towards settlement.

reference to the return of the Southern

means to that end every sign of the

practicable be obliterated. To retain

a step toward the restoration Of peace.

sharp ln jail.

NEW YORK, June 3O.-Jacob Sharp
sat in an easy chair in the warden's
Office of the Ludlow street Jail this
morning. He appeared to be in deep
thought. Helooked paler than yester-
day, but quite well nevertheless. Mrs.
Sharp sat near him and occasionally he
would look at her pleadingly. The
apartments assigned to Sharp consist
of the warden's parlor and bedroom on
the ground floor. The parlOr has a
large window which, although bar
bound, admits all the breeze that is
going. Delicate lace curtains dropped
over u heavy shade soften the glare of
the light. When Sharp reached the
Jail last night he went at once to his
rooms, where he was soon joined by his
wife. He moaned and tossed about
restlessly all night and and was up at
5:3O O'Clock this morning and took for
breakfast glass of milk and two pam
tkes: The repast was not disposed Of
rs though he relished it. Mrs.
Sharp did not close her eyes during
the long, weary night and looked ia
tiRued this morning. She does all she
can to keep her grief concealed from
her husband, and speaks but little to
her husband or Warden Heating. Ev-
cry precaution was taken so as to
douDiy insure the safety OF the prisoner,
and the warden took the keys of the
jail and placed them under his pill
low, so that nobody could leave or en-
ter the building without his knowledge.
One keeper remained on duty in the
Office all night and two in the corridors
of the jail, while the warden occupied
an adjoining room to Sharp with the
door wide open. There was not more
than five feet of space between them.
THE ARCH BRIBER's CONDITION.
New YORK, July Jacob Sharpe's
condition is unchanged to-day. He is
still weak and lies back in an invlid
chair in his room in Ludlow street Jail
while his wife waves a large fan over
him. His unmarried daughter and
Mr.. Stikney his counsel visited him this
morning. He appeared to relish his
food but Warden Heating still says he
does not eat enough to keep butterfly
alive. The warden denies that he
receives $50 a week from Sharp fol
his superior accommodations. He says
no favors are allowed the prisoner but
those sanctioned by the county.

Results in Duel.

ST. LOUIS, July "A telegram from
the City of Mexico says that the trouble
at the Casino over the daughter of eX-
Marshal Bazine finally terminated in
a duel between the young Englishman,
Eustis Barron, and member of the
entainment committee, Valentine Gar
TO. 1t appears that the entertainment
committee was not satisfied with the
accounts that were published in the
American and Spanish journals of the
original trouble and accordingly the
committee published statement re-
flecting on the Spanish minister and
young CAIRO signed this and Barron held
him to task for it. Meeting him on the
public street, Barron struck CAIRO with
cane. A challenge followed, and on
Thursday the two men met on the plain
of ZataZar, just east of the city, each
with two seconds. The combatants
were placed twenty-three PAGES a part,
back TO back, and at the order turned
and fired S Two Two shots shot ev were
to hit either. According to the code a
blow requires blood, and the young men
were again placed within twenty PAGES
of each other. At this fire both fell,
Barron with bullet cutting a swath
from his right side across the abdomen
to the left side, inflicting serious but
not fatal wound. CAIRO was struck on
top of the head, the bullet making a
path through his scalp, removing about
three inches of hair and shedding blood
enough to meet the requirements. This
settles the question and the young men
are the lions of the club. CAIRO says
that each of Barron's shots barely
missed his head. There are rumors of
other duels to follow, but the leaders
in the OF ipinal quarrel say no.

OMAHA, July I.-Before the Pacific
Railway Commission to-day Edward
Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee,
testified that it has been for years the
practice of the United States
Marshal of Nebraska and his
deputies to travel on free
passes over the Union Pacific Railway
and to charge the Government 10 cents
a mile for every mile so Travelled. Com
missioner LETTER asked witness if he
did not know that the Marshal had to
swear to his account when rendered and
that he had to swear that no part of the
trips charged for were made by passes.
Witness did not know that he was, but
he knew that passes were issued. He
had himself seen a Deputy United
States Marshal travelling on such a
pass, from whom he learned that the
Deputy had to share with the Marshal
for the travelling fees allowed by the
Government for just such trips. The
court officers generally, in Nebraska,
Mr.. Rosewater added, have always
shown great SubSerVience TO the rail-
road people. He produced the copy OF
the election telegram alluded to in his
testimony given some days ago before
the Commission. The telegram is from
